2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

The auction lists the primary damage as **Right Front**. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage is concentrated at the right front corner and supports this classification, citing the missing right headlamp, damaged bumper, deformed fender, and deformed hood edge. The right front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with internal components exposed. A substantial section of the right front bumper cover is missing or broken away, and the right front fender is severely creased and deformed around the leading edge and wheel arch, with broken and torn panel edges. The right front portion of the hood is buckled, with irregular edges and a large gap beside the fender. The black right front wheel-arch trim has detached from the body, with exposed fastener locations and a hanging section near the bumper. The lower front chrome trim also has abrasion and scuffing along its left-of-center section. These findings indicate significant collision damage at the right front corner. The condition of the headlamp mounting points, bumper reinforcement, cooling components, front suspension, steering, wheel and tire, wiring, sensors, air-bag system, and underlying structural components is not established by the supplied findings and should be checked during a thorough physical inspection. Repairs may require replacement of multiple exterior and lighting components, followed by alignment and verification of the vehicle’s driver-assistance and safety systems.
